modeling
This project entails researching suitable heuristics methodologies to achieve route
network design optimization. Transit capacity and lead times were optimized by teamwork
employing Genetic Algorithms on collected user demand data.
methodology
• Collected transit and demand data from the Orangeburg County, SC transit pricing
network by conducting aerial surveys.
• Remodeled the mathematical formulation to evaluate the effects of recent data documentation
such as “the accessibility factor.”
• Applied Genetic Algorithms through use of MATLAB to determined the most cost mileage
effective transit network design.
implementation
• Drafted bi-weekly comparative and systemized reports and Excel presentations
as well as virtual presentations of the network design capacity on TRANSCAD. transportation
